Agreed. I think that's really the way to go. It might exclude some of the less-hardcore players, but the less hardcore players aren't trying to make a living off tournaments.
Your reply boils down to: "you are wrong because <insert-authority-here> said <unspecified-thing-here>." You didn't even bother citing arguments from your source. C'mon, can't you do better than that?
I enjoy being proven wrong, but you're not living up to expectations.
If you allow them to mail in a device ahead of time, what's to stop it from having a ROM that responds to the special secret knock? USB device, DMA, perfect storm.
It's much simpler to make a blanket rule saying "you cannot bring anything" than try to play the arms race where you make exceptions and need special security procedures for them.
Hate to break it to you, but farming is a mining activity. It extracts resources (by means of plants) and transforms them into a usable form. It's incredibly intensive resource-wise. That wears out soils fairly quickly with the amount of food we need to produce. That's why we've resorted to mining the atmosphere for nitrogen to put back into the soil to be extracted by plants.
You can't have 7+ billion locally farming; it just isn't going to work (at least not in the "organic" sense). Farmers have struggled with this issue for millenia, solving the problem by moving around frequently (rotating fields and general locations). Manure and compost are only a stop-gap which recycle a fraction (not even close to 100%!) of the nitrogen. The reason we can support a modern population is that the efficiencies of a central nitrogen extraction plant and farming area are far higher and less destructive than a modern population all trying to farm without using atmospheric nitrogen. Or do you propose providing a fairly large scale power plant and a dangerous extraction facility to every local community?
It's a damn good thing there's so much nitrogen in the atmosphere and we know how to mine it, because natural fixation isn't good enough for our current population size. If we didn't know how to extract it, can you say, "famine"?
That's no fun; I'm going to build my own journal! With blackjack and editorial broads! In fact, forget the journal and the blackjack! Ah, screw the whole thing...
You have no reason to doubt them, except for the fact that the two women who made the allegations retracted them as false and the investigation was formally closed.
Adobe does not provide one. Gnash does. You only said Flash, not "official Flash plugin from Adobe", thus you are incorrect. See the first reply to the OP in the thread, which is a list of the 3 commands which will install a Flash plugin. You are incorrect. QED.
For the record, I run OpenBSD and Flash works fine. That link you provided even links to Gnash!
If you didn't realize it was a brilliant troll, he left you a whoppin' big clue:
soon to be released second edition, vim
VIM has been out for many years. There's your please-beat-me-over-the-head-with-it clue that this is satire so people don't take him seriously and mod him down for poking fun at fanbois.
I had a guy convinced that all active volcanoes have steps carved into them. Even threw in "retroencabulator" and he told me he knew what I meant... Sometimes you can't make the joke obvious enough, because Nature will always outstupid you.
Ah yes, the "la la la la la I can't hear you" tactic. Fact is, people against systemd have voiced technical omplaints, including one on this very page, which the maintainer who just resigned admitted is a severe bug, equivalent to "shooting your foot off" (his own words).
It's the people pushing systemd that are busy pretending that there aren't problems and refuse to acknowledge the issues, because they're inconvenient for them.
Good riddance. At least OpenBSD doesn't have this BS where they pretend a bug is a feature.
You said, "always". That word, it does not mean what you think it means. You didn't bother qualifying your statement. Plain English, and demonstrably incorrect.
Why would someone back the Qt stuff instead of GTK?
Let's face it. Some of us prefer GTK over Qt. Get over yourself and your One True Way, Holier Than Thou attitude. You're free to do it how you like, and I'm free to use what I like. Choice is good. And in this instance, it was appropriate.
TRIM support has been baked into Windows and OS X for long enough that new SSDs aren't typically tested to evaluate the impact of not running TRIM has on the drive.
Apple has long had a history of only enabling TRIM for Apple drives by default.
Read TFA. They enable trim by default for preinstalled SSDs and disable it for everyone else.
I think I probably should've chosen different words to state that. I'm not against how a person represents themselves--but when you act as part of a team, you represent the team. Does an athlete show up in attire of their own choosing, or that which their sponsors/team settles on collectively?
You're free to express yourself however you like. I'm not going to stop you. And you're free to tell me to fuck off. I just think that it's in poor taste to advertise the team that way, because it isn't representative of the team (only one person). What you do on your own time, as a representative of your own views, is your problem. Do whatever you like. Go naked. I don't care. I'm not a prude. But if someone pays me money to represent their interests, it typically comes with the expectation that I won't be promoting my own agenda in a way that overshadows theirs.
Alright, go ahead. Keep modding everything I say as Troll. (The redefinition of that is obnoxious too, but c'est la vie.)
You need two interfering frequencies for a beat frequency and what you're hearing is the difference between the two (their physical interference)--not the 42 kHz tone itself. The audible frequency is still going to need to be within that 20 Hz - 20 kHz (roughly) window in order for a human to hear it.
You're talking about more than double the generally accepted maximum frequency for human hearing. You're solidly into the ultrasound range. Other animals can hear at those frequencies (such as cats), but I don't see the evidence of any human ever having that hearing range.
Indeed. I spent a large chunk of my childhood living in Germany. Billboards with naked women and such. But your own shirt? Is that the image you want to advertise for yourself? (I mean, I guess if you're a pimp...)

I hope this version address all the remaining complains about it.
I'd like to file a bug report. You misspelled "complaints". I look forward to seeing this issue fixed in your next patch set. ;)
In all seriousness, it's a good point. But.. but... shiny.. fancy.. squirrel!
Local farming and gardening

The investigation was formally closed after the two women retracted their allegations as false.
What exactly do you propose they want him for now?
You have no reason to doubt them, except for the fact that the two women who made the allegations retracted them as false and the investigation was formally closed.
Also, flamebait? Really mods? This is pathetic.
Trial? What trial? He's not being charged with a crime. Since he's not being charged with a crime, why do they need to question him in person?
I wish I had mod points, but Slashdot seems to give me them about once a month these days, despite Excellent karma.
+1 Insightful. This is character assassination.
See the second post in the this thread. You are incorrect. FFS, it gives the exact commands needed to install a Flash plugin.

Chaotic and random are not the same thing.
Never heard of analog computers, I take it?
Now get off my lawn.

How about 23? Look at the gallery for just a sampling.
